Ready-to-use AI prompts for objection handling — written for Sales Rep and easy to paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
Prepare responses to the objections I will get
You are a sales strategist. Deal context: [deal context]. Objection I am hearing: [objection].
First, tell me what this objection usually means underneath — a real constraint, a priority problem, a trust gap, or a stall. Give the diagnostic question that tells me which.
Then give three responses calibrated to each underlying cause. Each one: acknowledge without agreeing, reframe with a question or a fact, and propose a concrete next step. Keep them conversational, under 60 words each, with no manipulation tactics.
Finish with what I should do if the objection is legitimate and we genuinely are not the right fit.
Roleplay a hard prospect
Act as [title] at [company type] evaluating [product]. Your situation: [situation]. You are [persona] and you interrupt when answers get long.
Roleplay a [length]-minute [call type] with me. Stay in character, respond only as the prospect, and push back the way a real buyer would — vague answers, competing priorities, and the objection [specific objection] at some point. Do not make it easy, and do not agree to a meeting unless I have earned it.
When I type 'COACH', break character and tell me what I just did well, what I missed, and the better line. Start with your first response to my opening.
Price and discount conversation
You are a negotiation coach for a [product] deal worth [amount] with [prospect situation]. They are pushing for [discount or concession]. Our constraints: [constraints].
Give me: what their request likely signals about the deal's real status, the questions to ask before responding at all, a set of trades where every concession we give buys something back, the specific language for holding price without sounding rigid, and the walk-away point.
Write the three lines I should actually say, in order. Then tell me what to do if they go silent for a week. Keep it practical — no theory.
